ABC News Bot (unofficial)@abcnewsbot.bsky.social · 11mo agoIn a suburban Canberra gym, no questions are asked. If you identify as a domestic violence survivor, you're in. The WEST Project is an innovative program helping women build themselves back up through powerlifting.

I spent 8 months waiting for an FOI from the NDIA on how they're using AI. This is what I found. Machine learning is used in developing draft plans for participants. Robodebt concerns loom large over the Copilot trial, but staff reported favourably on it. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

21 years ago we had stillborn twins. It still hurts. I cannot express in words the loathing I feel about these men. To suggest people would cash in on such excruciating loss says everything you need to know about these “moral conservatives.” Arseholes. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
